albert 13th Sep 2017		Cinema The Rats (2002) (2002)	The IMDB page shows the DVD box and has a really poor photoshopped rat with red eyes and added dogs teeth. If it was meant to look scary then sorry for laughing.
albert 15th Aug 2017		Cinema Sole Survivor (1970) (1970)	A major wants-list item for me and many others I suspect, one of those once seen never forgotten movies. ..and now you've read the review you might say, oh yeah THAT movie. [EDIT] I've just found out that it has been released on Blu-ray !!! and here is a Wikipedia article on the actual missing bomber Lady Be Good that inspired the story.
albert 23rd Jul 2017		Cinema The Road To God Knows Where (1990) (1990)	This shows what bands have to endure on tour between the actual gigs and is quite an eye-opener. I saw this at a special preview (at the ICA maybe) when it was first released.
albert 23rd Jul 2017		Cinema Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds : Live At The Paradiso (1992) (1992)	Whiplash editing on this live concert makes for a tiresome viewing experience, but the music is good. The additional documentary on the DVD shows what bands have to endure on tour between the actual gigs and is quite an eye-opener.
albert 15th Jun 2017		Cinema Blow-Up (1966) (1966)	from JohnPlatt's book 'London Rock Routes' - "an excellent performance by The Yardbirds in a studio mock-up of, oddly enough, the Windsor Ricky Tick, albeit transposed into Oxford Street"
albert 5th Jun 2017		Cinema The Man Who Changed His Mind (1936) (1936)	guess they kept changing their minds
albert 11th May 2017		Cinema 13 Ghosts (Thirteen Ghosts) (1960) (1960)	Added a pic for the Ghost Viewer I made, though I think the source image was from one included in a video/dvd release of the film. The gimmick for The Tingler was to wire up some chairs for an electric shock or vibration, William Castle was the king of the gimmicks.
albert 1st May 2017		Cinema 13 Ghosts (Thirteen Ghosts) (1960) (1960)	I had to make my own ghost viewer as my DVD didn't come with one. It was reasonably easy to do after I got hold of red and blue gels and plain card. I just needed to google an image of a ghost viewer, resize the image and print it out twice on card, cut out both images using a knife and sandwich the gels in the correct places held together with glue. Next project a tingler, or maybe not.
albert 24th Jan 2017		Cinema The Young Poisoner's Handbook (1995) (1995)	Wikipedia has notes on the real Graham Young.
albert 22nd Jan 2017		Cinema Star Crash (Starcrash) (1978) (1978)	Cannot resist adding the trailer, and then maybe I'll put together a review. I got a copy of this on import DVD (it was in a two-fer with Robinson Crusoe On Mars). [YouTube Video]

albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On Follow That Camel (Carry On In The Legion) (1967) (1967)	Originally not intended as being part of the Carry On series, but money considerations changed that. Screenplay by Talbot Rothwell. [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On Up The Jungle (1970) (1970)	Lukewarm screenplay by Talbot Rothwell, (at the time writing Up Pompeii TV series). Trailer, oh dear, [YouTube Video]

albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On At Your Convenience (1971) (1971)	Going down the pan, the puns were getting cornier and the trade union stuff was a bit of a misfire. Screenplay by Talbot Rothwell. [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On Matron (1972) (1972)	The 4th hospital-based Carry On, (others were Nurse, Doctor, Again Doctor). Screenplay by Talbot Rothwell. [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On Screaming! (1966) (1966)	Screenplay by Talbot Rothwell, one of his better ones. Trailer, (something wrong with framing) [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On Don't Lose Your Head (Don't Lose Your Head / Carry On Pimpernel) (1966) (1966)	Screenplay by Talbot Rothwell with some of his best puns. Looks like they spent a bit more than usual on the production: [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On Cowboy (1965) (1965)	Screenplay by Talbot Rothwell. Trailer: [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Cleopatra (1963)	Dear me, if this was the 1963 trailer then no wonder nobody went to see it... [YouTube Video] boring boring boring, absolutely deserves the Carry On send-up.
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Carry On Cleo (1964) (1964)	Screenplay by Talbot Rothwell. One of the best of the Carry Ons, they re-used the sets from Liz Taylor's Cleopatra which is why it looks kinda familiar. [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Oct 2016		Cinema Revenge Of Billy The Kid (1992) (1992)	A head-on collision between an earthy British comedy and a creature-feature horror results in a messy ending, turning funny haha into funny huh? This film is similar in style to early Peter Jackson ones mixing laughs and gore and is really quite hilarious for those in the mood for some lowbrow British humour. Be prepared for stereotypical depictions of farm yokels, lots of dirt, terrible puns, more dirt, and lard as a lubricant. Trailer, if you dare. [YouTube Video]
